Across California, families have had to fight, sometimes for years, just to learn what happened to their loved ones in police custody. Daryl Dean Mefferd wasn't under arrest when he died after an encounter with Vallejo police in 2016. Local officials ruled his death an accidental drug overdose, and for years that's where the story ended. But new records and never before seen body camera footage are challenging that version of events. Joining us now is Geoffrey King, executive editor at Open Vallejo, who's been digging into Mefferd's case.
